Regulated 6W DC-DCs Deliver Full Load at 75 C
RECOM's new regulated 6-Watt dc-dc converter, the RS6 series was developed specifically for applications with high-power density in extremely compact installation space; the series supply 2.7W per cubic centimeter and will operate at full load over a temperature range from -40 to +75 degrees C.
The new dc-dc converters with 2:1 input voltage range at nominal voltages of 5-, 12-, 24- and 48-Vdc are pin-compatible with the RSO, RS and RS3 models for easy power upgrading without altering the circuit board; ±5-, ±12- and ±15-Vdc dual-output versions are also available alongside the 3.3-, 5-, 12- and 15-Vdc single-output versions. A trim pin allows accurate matching between output voltage and load requirement.
The converters are housed in a compact SIP8 housing measuring just 21.8 x 9.2 x 11.1 mm. Typically, converters’ efficiencies are defined at full load because this is where they achieve the best performance. However, at low loads, their efficiencies dramatically decrease. This is not the case for the RS6 – at full load, an efficiency of 88% is achieved. Additionally, even at 30% load, the efficiency remains at 80%.
The converters are permanently protected against overload and short circuit, feature a TTL-compatible control pin, and do not require a minimum load to operate. All modules are certified to EN 62368-1 CB Scheme and IEC/EN 60950-1, and come with a three-year warranty in accordance with RECOM warranty policy. Samples are available at our authorized distributors now.
